    Yeah. That’s how population growth is…

    It’ll be newsworthy when total votes/voters go down over time, this is like being surprised 12:30 pm happens after noon everyday.

        This is great to see. Texas isn’t so much a red state as a non voting state. The more people vote, the better democrats do generally. It’s why Republicans are always pushing for voter roll purges.

          Republicans lose the popular vote, period. When people actually vote, on every level, Republicans lose.

      Also younger voters, especially young women are much more invested in politics and more likely to vote than ever.

        Eh…

        In the 1960s it was like 50%, I don’t think we’re there yet

        And people talk about how today’s violence, extremism, and division is new like the Civil Rights movement never happened and Malcolm just had that AK for a photo OP.

        You’re “than ever” isnt accurate.
